Indian envoy inaugurates art exhibition in Dhaka

Indian High Commissioner
to Bangladesh Pranay Verma inaugurated a group art exhibition at Galleri Kaya
in Dhaka, titled "CROSSROAD… not a project" yesterday (3 April).
Featuring 11 contemporary
Bangladeshi artists, including Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR)
scholars, the artworks span diverse themes – from tributes to the Language
Movement martyrs to evocative depictions of everyday life and nature, reads a
press release.
In his speech, the high
commissioner said, "In the India-Bangladesh relations, art is a very
strong medium that brings our people together. It manifests that connection.
"Apart from the fact
that we share a history, geography, language, culture, traditions, art has
always been a foundational connector between us. Exchange of art and artists
has been very profoundly part of our culture and of our engagement. They have
inspired each other, they have influenced each other, and they have
collaborated with each other to produce masterpieces.
"I look forward to
more and more exchanges between India and Bangladesh in the field of art, and
we will be very happy to facilitate it, enable it and encourage it in whatever
way we can."
